Puberty had, as I expected, sucked.
The mood swings, aches and pains, and the other children undergoing puberty alongside me.
Though there were a couple upsides to the whole experience.
The rapid growth stage.
And the lack of acne or hyperactive libido.
Anime body bullshit fuckery go!
I was almost as thankful for it as I was for child brain neural plasticity helping me learn all the Japanese stuff I needed to fit in in my new life.
I also wasn’t growing a beard which I was thankful for. I don’t think I would look good with one.
The worst part had to be the other kids, or I guess preteens now, that were also going through puberty.
It hurt me to watch them embarrass themselves
“Dark flame dragon”
“The demon lord sealed in my left hand”
“I alone am the honored one”
“I can remember past lives”
Phew
I was glad I had my adult mind to stop me from embarrassing myself like that.
Except for that last guy
Maybe he’s like me *gasp*
Huhuhuhuh
Probably not though.
I was 13 when I started puberty, and it has been 3 years since then, which hopefully means I’m past the worst of it.
Yep, I’m 16 now, 17 soon. It is the year 2008. And I am in My second year in senior high, so close to being done with school again.
Soon I’ll be done with these mental logs of my school life.
Yipee!
I think I’ve pretty much had my fill of school for all my lifes, almost 30 total years worth of schooling once I’m done with this go at it.
If I ever get reborn again, I’m not going back to school, I’ll just live on the streets or something.
Or something.
To give an update, once again, on the gaming world and my life, starting with entertainment, is that the big companies have pretty much done away with consoles.
I know it's unbelievable right.
They have moved on to a mixture of AR, VR, and consoles.
Basically, what it is is a plastic ring with a plexiglass visor and 2 hand bars with finger rings.
So how it works, or how they say it works, is that the ring goes on your head and rests on your ears.
Sounds are played through that thing where the sound is played through the bones in your ears, and it doesn’t suck like it did in my old world, it's actually better than headphones and earbuds.
Which are still used in regular life by the way.
I really don’t know what's up with that.
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Anyways, The plexiglass visor is a mix of AR and VR tech where it projects basically into you eyes and on the visor itself to create a hyper realistic vision of a game station of your choice.
Be it handheld like a DS, on a TV like consoles, or on a small monitor like a pc.
And you slip your fingers through the rings on the hand bars, and the bars themselves rest in your hands.
They are super duper sensitive to any movement you make with your hands, reads it, and sends it to the headpiece and uses it as the inputs.
Like, If you chose a DS type setup, it would correspond to the buttons and act like you’re holding it in your hands. And if you chose a PC type setup, it would be like a keyboard and mouse.
But it didn’t have enough processing power to run like a real PC, so there was a real explanation there for why we still used PCs instead of these devices.
I can’t believe it, there is a real reason for some fucked up tech progression.
This was probably the third most startling thing to ever happen to me. Behind Being reincarnated at number 1, and hit by a truck while jay-walking at number 2.
That's right baby! The lists are back! I bet you missed them dearly.
I’ll stop now.
On the topic of my life, I’ve been busy. Very Busy.
Busy on what, you ask?
Busy on the griiiiiiind!
Day in, day out, I been working.
Part time.
But working nonetheless.
I've been gettin’ my money up, not my funny up.
All the part time jobs. Convenience stores, restaurants, hotels even.
I’ve even had 2 jobs at once before.
I even threw away my pride and boosted game accounts, and spent hours hunting rare items to trade for ennis.
Everything for the future. Not too far in the future at that.
Once I’m 18 and out of Highschool, It's over for all these peasants.
All I have to do.
Is wait for the time to arrive.

August 2nd, 2010
Kyoto prefecture, Japan
Its done
I did it
I FINALLY FINISHED HIGH SCHOOL!
YIPEE!
I’m free, I’m free!
See you never suckers.
Ha ha
Phew, It was a long journey but I finally made it.
This is certainly one of the happier days of my life.
Now, If you’re wondering about that dastardly plan that I kept mentioning, that required me to fiend on the grindset. Well let me now tell you.
I will now be abusing one of the oldest tropes known to the “reincarnated on earth in the past” genre. Making copious amounts of money by abusing your knowledge of the future.
Normally, these MC’s are super geniuses who know how the stock markets work and memorized all the giant rises and crashes from their life.
I, on the other hand, have no fucking clue how to use the stock market nor do I remember any of the trends from my past life.
But if there is one thing I do know.
One super meme from my past.
The thing that earned some their riches.
And others wanted to die because they lost their chance treating it like a joke.
Bitcoin.
You heard that right, I said Bitcoin.
I am going to make my riches on Bitcoin.
The reason I am going to bet on something like Bitcoin instead of google or amazon or any other thing that could earn me, probably even more money, is for several reasons.
The first, I don't have tens of millions of Yen to throw around “diversifying my portfolio” and make “better investment returns” or whatever the fuck that means.
Over my four years of scrounging up as much money as I could without selling my organs, I have managed to save up an, admittedly impressive for an 18 year old,
3,000,000 Yen
This may seem like a buttload of money, but it translates to roughly 30,000 USD.
This may seem like a lot for being only 18, but you gotta know.
I've been grindin my ass off and living like a chump!
Anything that I have that may seem like a luxury to you, to me, is a way to make money.
Game consoles to you, ways to sell game services to me.
So my piddly little 3 million yen is not making me my billions in the stock market anytime soon.
But with Bitcoin, in 2010, I had a plan.
In 2010, 1 Bitcoin went for .09 USD.
So with most of my money, converted into USD, and traded for Bitcoin.
I could obtain 330,000 Bitcoin.
But if Bitcoin is worth so little, why buy so much, I hear you ask?
For you see!
In October of 2013, the price of Bitcoin took its first major price spike. Going from 9 cent per coin, to an absurd somewhere slightly above 1200 USD per coin.
And with my 330,000 Bitcoin, I will be able to cash out 390,000,000 USD, which I will then convert back into Yen. I Would end up with a grand total of 35 billion, you read that right, billion with a B, Billion Yen after all of the exchange and conversion fees.
Which, coincidentally, brings me to the second reason I’m doing bitcoin instead of the stock market.
I’m not about to get on the Japanese IRS’s bad side for bringing trillions of Yen into the country. They will be on my ass faster than I can say “I’m rich”.
Do you think they’ll seriously let me get away with that. Nah, I’d end up on a headline for getting in a car accident.
Again
There was also the part where I wanted to remain relatively unknown.
35 billion yen is a lot, enough to where I’ll never have to work again, but not enough to get me put on the map as a person with enough money to influence things to the people with real money.
I’ll pass on assassination, thank you kindly. I'm just a "lucky kid" after all.
So there it is, my master plan.
I’ve already obtained the Bitcoin and I just need for 2013 to roll around to cash out.
I suppose for now I’ll just stay at my parents house and get an office job, to say I lived through the struggle of Japanese office life for 3 whole years before I made my riches.
When my parents found out I would probably be living with them for a few years until I could “Save up enough money to get my own place”, they were not very happy.
The relationship I have with my new parents have worsened as I got older and I’m pretty sure at this point they are not very big fans of me.
I’m not surprised, I never gave them any idea I was going to make something out of myself, I never joined any clubs, I never planned on going to college, and I never went to a vocational school.
I always thought they were too controlling, they really didn’t like it when they found out they couldn’t micromanage my life, and after that we kind of drifted apart.
So I guess for now, my game plan is to go through the horrors of a Japanese office job until I can cash out my Bitcoin, and then sit on my ass for the game the world revolves around to come out. Whatever it is.
So my new life can truly start in earnest.
